Interestingly, it was the Evangelical Catholic (Lutheran) reformers who lodged the protest at the 2nd Diet at Speyer in 1529.LOL, Jon, you guys might be the one denomination they would exclude
All I heard as a protestant is that Luther didn’t do enough - not even close to enough for true reformation.
Can’t answer for the protestants, but you can fit a few Anglicans into that.
Yeah, pretty ridiculous notion that the ones who started the reformation would not be considered welcome in any sort of unification project. Shows how much things have changed over the past 490 years.Interestingly, it was the Evangelical Catholic (Lutheran) reformers who lodged the protest at the 2nd Diet at Speyer in 1529.

Hi Lenten_ashes. Admittedly I mostly haven’t been reading your posts, but perhaps I should because this ^^ seems like something I would say. More specifically, I’m always hearing stuff like "Well, I heard a Catholic apologist say Blank, so that proves that … "
Maybe it’s time we turn the tables. 
It’s just so common that I had to mention it.Hi Lenten_ashes. Admittedly I mostly haven’t been reading your posts, but perhaps I should because this ^^ seems like something I would say. More specifically, I’m always hearing stuff like "Well, I heard a Catholic apologist say Blank, so that proves that … "
I thought some Catholics already had?Hi Lenten_ashes. Admittedly I mostly haven’t been reading your posts, but perhaps I should because this ^^ seems like something I would say. More specifically, I’m always hearing stuff like "Well, I heard a Catholic apologist say Blank, so that proves that … "
Depends on the precise meaning of your terminology:
NO and as a Protestant you don’t either:
And AGAIN you don’t believe that either: see abover
NO, NOT with the MANY translation floating around
What, like there are faults on both sides or something? That’ll be the day.I thought some Catholics already had?

the Greek is pasa graphe theopneustos
I absolutely believe that every line is Scripture is is inerrant and infallible.
I can agree with this, though, “This is my body…” should never be construed and figurative.
Perhaps it would be time to go tell the Orthodox - they been having larger Bibles for the last 1700 years and I’m sure they’d like to save on printing costs.
They claim to recognize the first 7 ecumenical councils.Just ask them and they will tell you they do.(i have)
Thank you
On another note, we may not live in your idea of the “apostolic era” but we have the apostolic lineage of persons responsible for teaching God’s Word without change or manipulation–straight from Christ himself. He handed the keys of authority of The Church to St. Peter. (Matt. 16:13-19) Every Pope in succession since St. Peter holds the keys of authority to The Church. Every Cardinal, Bishop, Priest and Deacon of the Catholic Church can trace their ordination lineage back to the original Apostles. So in a sense, the Apostolic era will never end. The teachings of the Early Church Fathers continue to this day in all of their authenticity–from the oral tradition to the written Word. Feels nice to be a part of the perpetual apostolic era, doesn’t it?
OK
Correct - they recognize that local councils are not the same as ecumenical councils.
I definitely believed in Dika Scripture at some point. I believe it was because that is what I was taught and I didn’t research on my own. Since researching on my own, I now believe differently.
yes i do:OK
BUT none of which address the ROOT points that I shared about you’re NOT
believing what the bible ACTUALLY and precisely, says’
God Bless you

Thank you.
